Generating and Exploiting State Spaces of Object-Oriented Petri Nets
Janoušek Vladimír, doc. Ing., Ph.D. (DITS)
Vojnar Tomáš, prof. Ing., Ph.D. (DITS)
Petri nets, object-orientation, formal analysis and verification
The article describes two of the problems arising in the area of generating and exploiting state spaces of the object-oriented Petri nets (OOPNs) associated to the tool called PNtalk. Firstly, the influence of identifiers of dynamically appearing and disappearing instances upon the state space explosion problem is explained. Methods of working with identifiers based on sophisticated naming rules and mechanisms for abstracting names are described and compared. Subsequently, there are discussed several attitudes to specifying properties of systems to be validated by means of state spaces of their OOPN-based models.
